I would reraise flop before a possible scary turn comes and slows down the action


Raise flop, or raise turn. As played on the river you beat a bluff only, or mayyyybe AQc. Fold river.


3bet pre and 3bet bvb wide at the micros (arguably range but you don't have to).

As played, raise flop and start putting the money in. Definitely raise turn and try to put the money in. River is whatever I'd just call and expect it to be close to even.


3b pre for sure, bvb, in position.

If we're not raising the flop -- which is OK, I guess -- we're definitely raising the turn. And we're most definitely raising big on the turn after his larger turn bet. He clearly wants to get it in there.


Looks ok v. an unknown, but I doubt folding the river is a mistake since you're bluffcatching.


What's going on with all the raising flop suggestion vs a range that is way stronger than ours on this board? Sure it's BvB but is the meta these days to look for putting stacks in this light? A lot of run-outs won't be good for us, I like the c/c/f line the best.

Why would you turn your hand into a bluffcatcher and fold the river?

Kc is bad (AK/flushes/QT get there) and there's probably not enough bluffs/thin value in villain's range that take this line. At equilibrium we're probably over folding but whatever.

Why do you want to stack off with 0-5% equity vs. value, and best case having to dodge a million outs to flush, board pair, and 2 pair?

I never said to shove the river


What is a $5 Villain b/f'ing after he bets 70% of the pot on the turn?

You want to raise the flop and the turn, so you basically are trying to stack off.

We probably have the best hand and Villain wants to put money in.


3bet pre looks okay if you wanna mix some of these weak Ax in there but call is w/e

I think top and bottom pairs can be some of the trickiest to be raising with because it's so easy for them to get counterfeited so i tend to err on the side of x/c here but idk R-B-X, C-R-X seems okay. Getting stacks in tho for maybe value seems terrible.

OTR you can call vs this size if you want however the BDs did get there and at least some decent portion of his range probably improved so folding seems fine.


Appreciate all the detailed feedback for this hand! Lessons learned. For those interested, Villain showed AJ for better two pair.

He should've gone bigger flop/turn, dumb villain wasting juicy value.

That doesn't mean you should raise and try to stack off on flops and turns when the SB is completely uncapped with all straights, sets, and combo draws. In fact you should be concerned about him piling in money on a dryish board that you're heavily blocking.

It isn't stacking off when Villain has A5

you get money from A5 regardless so idk what you're getting at by cherry picking one random hand that you beat, that may or may not bet at all and not for these sizes on any street.


WP imo.

You think I was cherry picking one hand?


I think you could make an argument for raising flop but call is fine too and probably my preference. Once you call though raising turn becomes too thin imo vs an unknown. River is close if they look nitty i don't mind a fold but standard would be just to call.
